With One Mini, HTC becomes the latest phone maker to adopt the miniaturization trend.
The One Mini follows the same external design cues and ergonomic
proportions of its bigger brother, the HTC One, and on the inside uses
the same custom skin, Beats Audio technology, and user interface.
However, the smaller device's size means that some internal components
have had to be changed.
It has a 720p 4.3-inch display (instead of a 4.9-inch full HD
screen). There's also less RAM (1GB) and a smaller dual core 1.4GHz
processor, but it will still pack a sufficient punch to run any app
currently available on Google Play and will be more affordable than the
company's true flagship, extending the cool factor to more potential
users.
As such, the HTC One Mini becomes the latest in a growing range of
'mini me' gadgets that includes the Samsung Galaxy SIV Mini and the Sony
Xperia ZR. Interestingly, HTC is also currently rumored to be in the
process of developing and launching a tablet version of the One which
would also compete head to head with similar offerings from Samsung and
Sony.
Announced Thursday at a low-key press event in London, the Mini will be available in August.
